The province of Puntarenas is one of the biggest coast lines
of Costa Rica and it also has the closest beaches to San Jose. The town of
Puntarenas is located just 1 hour from San Jose.

Last week we visited this wonderful town which surprised us
in many unexpected ways. For foreigners this town is normally not considered
for their vacations. But we discovered that it can be a wonderful spot for get
a ways, weekends and stops during journeys.

Right on the strip we found Hotel Puerto Azul. This hotel
has been on site for a long time. But it has a new owner who has invested a lot
of love and money. The property is marvelously recovered. On site guests can be
part of the standard rooms with one or two double beds, new a/c, flat screen tv
with cable channels, private bathroom, hot water and balcony. Or if you are traveling with family like we do and recommend; the property offers
condominium style rooms. From a one bedroom to 5 bedrooms, with fully equipped
kitchen, dining area, living room, laundry machines, a/c, and great modern
finishes. This building has an elevator which means is also accessible for
older family members.

Private boat tour to an off the beaten path
island to discover beaches (with private picnic)

Regular catamaran tours to Tortuga Island or San
Lucas Island

Mangrove boat tour to see wildlife

Sport Fishing

Sunset walk on the boardwalk in town
and enjoy a Churchill

And for those families with kids and teenagers
all the activities offered near jaco which is only 50 minutes away; for example canopy – atv – surf – carara
national park – crocodile tours – guided walks

We have sent some nice suggestions to the hotel to improve
some family services but in general they are ready for your visit.

When you have the opportunity visit this property and let us know all your thoughts, comments, updates… share the
power of traveling as a family!
